“…Nonetheless, it was clearly documented that exercise training improves diaphragm antioxidant capacity and endurance 39 . More recent studies have shown that sport specificity is responsible for developing diverse changes in THA patterns 15 16 17 , triggering specific improvements in breathing mechanics efficiency 40 . Nonetheless, it was argued that postural constraints may further contribute to the development of custom THA patterns 1 .…”

“…Likewise, professional ballet dancers were able to keep unchanged breathing mechanics in quiet breathing and vital capacity maneuvers 16 . The effect of training in Pilates practitioners was documented to modify the thoracoabdominal motion pattern by increasing the contribution of the abdomen 17 . A raise in the force, in both appositional and insertional of the diaphragm, related to the inferior thorax compartment, was already found in cyclists 12 41 .…”

“…Generally speaking, THA motion patterns modify according to the physical activity intensity, being dependent also on other factors such as gender, posture, and motion task 11 12 13 14 . Conversely, long-term sports training can permanently modify the THA motion patterns (evidenced by measurements taken during rest breathing maneuvers), to the advantage of better respiratory performance 15 16 17 .…”

Thoracoabdominal breathing motion pattern is being considered in sports training because of its contribution, along with other physiological adaptations, to overall performance. We examined whether and how experience with cycling training modifies the thoracoabdominal motion patterns. We utilized optoelectronic plethysmography to monitor ten trained male cyclists and compared them to ten physically active male participants performing breathing maneuvers. Cyclists then participated in a self-paced time trial to explore the similarity between that observed during resting breathing. From the 3D coordinates of 32 markers positioned on each participant’s trunk, we calculated the percentage of contribution of the superior thorax, inferior thorax, and abdomen and the correlation coefficient among these compartments. During the rest maneuvers, the cyclists showed a thoracoabdominal motion pattern characterized by an increased role of the inferior thorax relative to the superior thorax (26.69±5.88%, 34.93±5.03%; p = 0.002, respectively), in contrast to the control group (26.69±5.88%; 25.71±6.04%, p = 0.4, respectively). In addition, the inferior thorax showed higher coordination in phase with the abdomen. Furthermore, the results of the time trial test underscored the same pattern found in cyclists breathing at rest, suggesting that the development of a permanent modification in respiratory mechanics may be associated with cycling practice.

“…Reduced physical activity is one of the main reasons for the rapid increase in the prevalence of diseases of affluence, which can lead to premature deaths in adults [ 1 , 2 ]. Sedentary lifestyle and low physical activity levels have a number of negative consequences for the musculoskeletal [ 3 ], circulatory [ 4 ], respiratory [ 5 ], digestive [ 6 ], nervous [ 7 ], and endocrine [ 8 ] systems.…”

Background Limited physical activity is one of the main reasons for the rapid increase in the prevalence of diseases of affluence, which can lead to premature deaths in adults. Quality of life may be one of potential determinants of physical activity. The aim of this article is to identify the relationships between physical activity and quality of life in entrepreneurs from Wroclaw, Poland. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on a group of 616 entrepreneurs (216 women and 400 men). A diagnostic survey method was used with a direct interview technique. The research tools included the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results Among the studied entrepreneurs, along with their higher ratings of overall quality of life, the odds of high rather than low levels of physical activity increased nearly fivefold (OR 4.86, CI 3.34–7.07). Entrepreneurs with higher assessment levels of their perceived health condition were nearly twice as likely to report high rather than low physical activity levels (OR 1.92, CI 1.42–2.59). The conditional probability of high rather than low levels of physical activity also increased in the entrepreneurs with higher assessments of quality of life in the physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains, by 34%, 11%, 5%, and 6%, respectively. Conclusion Programs promoting physical activity among entrepreneurs, which focus on moderate and high intensity exercise, should be considered desirable in the context of the study findings. Activities aimed at improving quality of life in the physical and psychological domains as a potential determinant of the level of physical activity of entrepreneurs are also worth recommending.
